The role of inhibition in avoiding distraction by salient stimuli
N Gaspelin, SJ Luck - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2018 - cell.com
Researchers have long debated whether salient stimuli can involuntarily 'capture'visual
attention. We review here evidence for a recently discovered inhibitory mechanism that may …

The distractor positivity component and the inhibition of distracting stimuli
There has been a long-lasting debate about whether salient stimuli, such as uniquely
colored objects, have the ability to automatically distract us. To resolve this debate, it has …

All set! Evidence of simultaneous attentional control settings for multiple target colors.
Although models of visual search have often assumed that attention can only be set for a
single feature or property at a time, recent studies have suggested that it may be possible to …

On preventing attention capture: Is singleton suppression actually singleton suppression?
It is commonly assumed that salient singletons generate an “attend-to-me signal” which
causes suppression to develop over time, eventually preventing capture. Despite this …

Region-based shielding of visual search from salient distractors: Target detection is impaired with same-but not different-dimension distractors
Shielding visual search against interference from salient distractors becomes more efficient
over time for display regions where distractors appear more frequently, rather than only …

The problem of latent attentional capture: Easy visual search conceals capture by task-irrelevant abrupt onsets.
Researchers are sharply divided regarding whether irrelevant abrupt onsets capture spatial
attention. Numerous studies report that they do and a roughly equal number report that they …

Does feature intertrial priming guide attention? The jury is still out
Our search performance is strongly influenced by our past experience. In the lab, this
influence has been demonstrated by investigating a variety of phenomena, including …

Attentional capture with rapidly changing attentional control settings.
MC Lien, E Ruthruff, JC Johnston - Journal of Experimental …, 2010 - psycnet.apa.org
The classic theory of spatial attention hypothesized 2 modes, voluntary and involuntary.
Folk, Remington, and Johnston (1992) reported that even involuntary attention capture by …

[HTML][HTML] A critique of the attentional window account of capture failures
N Gaspelin, HE Egeth, SJ Luck - Journal of Cognition, 2023 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
There has been a lengthy debate about whether salient stimuli have the power to
automatically capture attention, even when entirely task irrelevant. Theeuwes (2022) has …

Learning to suppress salient distractors in the target dimension: Region-based inhibition is persistent and transfers to distractors in a nontarget dimension.
It was shown previously that observers can learn to exploit an uneven spatial distribution of
singleton distractors to better shield visual search from distractors in the frequent versus the …
